I won't get into the details of the welcome dinner. But her behavior then was alarming, and even insulting. The parents of the bride/groom were on alert. (I am not one of the parents). Then comes wedding day.. She was HAMMERED, over-pouring significantly (we do appreciate an over-pour tho, to a point). Spilling everywhere. Nothing set up and prepared behind bar says one of her hires. Wedding guests that weren't aware of any issue the first night noticed it before any of the family did. Hammered off her ass. She walked off and left her bar wide open. She had two workers working under her. They were FANTASTIC, and built their resume this night hopefully. Before Tiffany was booted, one of her hires was already about to leave (because of how miserable working for Tiffany had been). This says enough. Tiffany ended up getting kicked out, and resisted several times. Pushed a 22 year old that was just trying to show her to her car. Cops were called on her, and she drove away from the scene. Mind you, under the influence. Just do a background check and you'll see. ;) From the time she was kicked out, to the time she left 45-60 minutes had passed, with multiple scenes. Despite all of this, FANTASTIC wedding and the two people she hired saved it. Don't hire her, or this company. (The two bartenders she hired are not on contract nor impacted by this).

DO NOT HIRE SHAKE IT UP BARTENDING FOR ANY EVENT!…read more It is genuinely hard to comprehend the level of failure we experienced with this company. It felt like we were living in the Twilight Zone. As the mother of the bride, dealing with the disastrous domino effect of the owner Tiffany's actions severely affected what should have been a perfect day. If you want a professional, reliable vendor, look elsewhere. Our issues started gradually during the planning process. Leading up to the wedding, Tiffany's communication started to fall off. She missed a scheduled appointment with one of our other vendors, moved phone calls, had to be reminded to send us information we discussed. and ended up being rude to our guests at the welcome party. Unfortunately, her behavior on the actual wedding day at our beautiful venue in Hood River was vastly worse. From the very first drinks served at cocktail hour, Tiffany was stumbling and highly intoxicated. Because of her state, she completely mismanaged the bar setup. She failed to chill our beer and wine ahead of time and completely neglected to set up the rented glassware we provided. Tiffany was shockingly out of it to our guests and entirely incompetent handing them specialty cocktails that were almost straight tequila and adding ice with her hands. She was escorted out and we had to have the planner call the police because she kept coming back and making a scene. Her behavior was so unacceptable that her two contracted employees threatened to walk out. In order to keep them there so our guests could actually get drinks, we had to pay those two employees extra out of our own pockets on top of what we already paid Tiffany and Shake it up. Since the wedding, Tiffany has refused to refund us what we paid her, despite completely failing to deliver her service and forcing us to pay her staff extra just to stay. We have since learned that she has an extensive record of issues going way back. Save yourself the heartache, stress, and money. Please spread the word especially to any brides getting married in the Hood River, OR area. Do not use Shake It Up Bartending for any event.

The guests LOVED the food. Especially the marinated chicken thighs and the potato salad. I even received comments from guests the veggie tray was one of the most beautiful they had ever seen. All the other dishes were delicious as well and there was more than enough to send leftovers home with everyone who wanted some. Busy Bee elevated my event into something even more special by providing such amazing food. I never worried once about any part of catering, as they were the easiest to work with all around. I would absolutely use them again and likely will!

One of the things that made them stand out for me was that they always made a point to set aside a tray at the end of the gig for the musicians - that kind of courtesy was unusual, and the food was amazing! Based on those experiences, I hired them to cater a fundraising event for our youth symphony, and they were great to work with in every way. They kept us within our budget and everyone raved about the food. Several years later when it came time to hire a caterer for my wedding, there was no question in my mind that I wanted Voila'. Still, my husband-to-be was living in CA, so I set up a tasting so that he could decide if he wanted to try other places, or go with them. No question - after trying the food it was Voila' all the way! I've seen negative reviews on this site. Is Jonathan opinionated? Yes, but there is good reason for that. They take their food seriously, and they have been doing this for a long time, so they know what works. Now they are also doing event rentals, and I found it to be cost-effective as well as more efficient to also order the linens and such from them that our venue did not provide. I really appreciated his input and did not find his manner off-putting. In fact, he even agreed to meet with me again when I was questioning my choices on the menu! Of course, in my field I am accustomed to strong personalities, and I don't take offense at someone who is passionate about what they do. Everything they did at the reception was STELLAR. Everything they served was scrumptious, and their excellent serving staff made sure that everything was smooth and trouble-free. Delivery/clean-up was flawless. Since they make everything to order, they do not do buffets, so if that is what you are looking for, this isn't the place for you. If you want organization, exquisite flavors and something really special - call Voila'.

While our event was just a big catered party for friends/family/neighbors, I can't imagine what is must have been like for the unfortunate couples who have crossed paths with them when trying to put together their special wedding day. The themes that emerge in others' reviews below sum up our experience with Viola Catering nicely: Alisabeth S.: "RUDE.... Don't waste your time." Luana V.: "If you value your time and have any self-respect, I recommend staying far away from this business...Their salesman (or owner?) spent 90% of the time we were there patronizing us and speaking poorly about the competition" Marjorie R.: "...constant name dropping and excessive story telling by Jonathan...I mention that we have hired a wedding planner...Jonathan asks me how much we spent.  I uncomfortably answer X dollars.  He says, "you have wasted X dollars," ...and he "would rather walk (us) out than work with a wedding planner." This is a huge disappointment to us.  I try to ascertain whether they will work with one if they are given "the power" on the day of but instead he continues to make condescending comments and insult us.  We were invited to stay for dinner but we walked out on them instead." Kang Z.: "I hate to bitch about anyone but really really want to share how bad the experience could be with them. The smaller guest number you have, the less respect you will receive...They don't want any feedback from client. It seems they're just so proud on what they do and either you take whatever they offer you on menu and price or you will be just humiliated! I have to say that is the worst experience I ever ever had before. Again so regretful that didn't read review first." Hannah B.: "Very poor service, I needed a caterer and was abruptly told I could "NEVER" work with them because I already had a wedding planner. Very rude and abrupt, work on your customer service skills!!!!!! Would never hire or recommend them to anyone!" Sarah L.: "Terrible! Jonathan is a pompous ass! Don't waste your time!"
